This is not a problem, just a public service announcement.
Im guessing the bungs at the top sides of my pontoons are letting air escape or at least that's what I suspect. I will describe what is happening and perhaps you can confirm my suspicion.
in the last few outings as soon as we launch our pontoon boat I can hear air escapeing from the passenger side pontoon. No bubbles or anything to be worried about just a quiet hissing of air. What I suspect is the boat is sitting in our drive way and the sun is warming up the pontoon. We launch our boat in the lake and the difference between the lake temp and the pontoon temp is causeing air to either be sucked in or pushed out. As soon as the boat has been in the lake for a few (30-45 mins) things equalize and the sound is gone. Just wanted to let people know if they hear somthing like this, do some investigation see if you come up with the same conclusion as me?
